Photobucket is back!! You can post pics again on 3rd party sites like here.....

Nope. Photobucket is garbage and even if it does start working properly again people shouldn't use it.

Lets see (as it still wanted $399 per year when I just logged in)

EDIT - well look at that...

Okay, so which free Photo Hosting site should I use?

This one is working for me at the moment. I wonder if that will last. This could be a strategy by them to make you complacent about it...

Imgur.com is fine.

Imgur or Postimage.

Most folks on here seem to prefer Imgur. It's good if you do a lot of Fretboarding on mobile as there's an app which links with your phone camera. Postimage lacks the bells and whistles of Imgur - it's image hosting, plain and simple. I have had it flake out on me once, though.

Imgur was literally established to provide free image hosting online, predominantly for Reddit. It’s not going anywhere and is pretty much a perfect, and very simple, syste

I would strongly suggest that people don't start using it again based on the shitty business practices.

I'd rather look at an artist's impression done using ASCII characters.....

Which would be pretty flipping accurate for a Telecaster..

Why people just don't start using Imgur I'll never know.

It's easy to use, has no ads (OK, I have ABP and Ghostery enabled), you get a clean direct link to the image without anything else on the page, it has a nice mobile app and the community is good fun too.

Weird thing is that's what I'm seeing now - my pic was showing there yesterday now that!

Only reason I was pleased to see photobucket back was I've got tons of pics already on there and thought I'd be a chore moving 'em all across to igmur...oh well looks like little by little n all that.

Broken now (on mobile anyway!)

At first I thought you edited your post to the "update your account" for comedy purposes, @sireaxeman, but I see you didn't. I lol'd you anyway.

even if it did come back, you shouldn't use it, because the model of the company doesn't work for them, and no doubt they will take it away again / change it as they knee jerk their way along trying to find a revenue stream. Once a company starts behaving in this way, they have to be written off as a service provider as there is no way back for them.
